Joseph Jarman is perhaps best known as one of the first members of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) and the Art Ensemble of Chicago. Jarman's solo recording career began in 1965 with two releases on the Delmark Label which included non-conforming recording methods, such as spoken word and "little instruments", the latter a technique that Jarman and Roscoe Mitchell would use to effectiveness in the Art Ensemble. This beautiful record is pre-Art-Ensemble. Non-tribal, ecstatic freejazz that preferably wore african roots as a mask - and not in its music. It contains the highly recommended lunatic poem "Non-Cognitive Aspects of the City" - well, maybe a good name for the whole genre...

Hey Lucky - you know that you are welcome. Please tell me if you are into something new on the net... I' d really like to know. Thanks for all !
And hey Weasel, damnit, thanks for mentioning... I was looking for a "different" picture of Jarman - well, it's been a bit too different, for sure...
hello,
great stuff around here, but too bad, I was a bit late.
could you reup this one?
by any chance?
thanks in any case.
hey lc,
it's reupped !
and it's still there, thanks!
The pic above is certainly Jarman. Maybe it has been changed. I got this on a French label, Goody, most likely a bootleg, but now reissued by Delmark on cd. This is essential for the AACM collector, make no mistake. The opening tune is a killer and of course, the poem was eventually used as a title for an AFoC album of very recent vintage.
AEoC, dammit ...
